I’m a pickleball player with 3 years of experience. I first discovered this game when visiting a friend who was obsessed with it. The slower pace, doubles play, fast rallies, and challenging drop shots hooked me instantly.

I started taking lessons with friends, joking about our non-typical player age. Pickleball became our recreational game of choice, providing fun and camaraderie without post-game ice packs. It’s amazing how this chance encounter turned into a passion I can’t wait to keep exploring.
